Program Description

Bachelor of Design (Hons.) Product Design

B.Design (Hons.) programme of Industrial design focuses on designing products, systems, and services that make life easier by developing creative thinking ability. It’s a balance of creativity, technology, cultural concerns, environmental needs, exploring materials, production techniques, aesthetics, the emerging fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Artificial Intelligence, and social issues in both local and global contexts. In the Bachelor of Design course, Students can learn and apply user-centric insights by becoming more empathetic.

B.Design (B.Des.) Product Design is offered as part of School of Industrial Design

School of Industrial Design

Industrial Design deals with products, services, and systems addressing usability, form, function, aesthetics, material, technologies, and sustainability. Our students explore creative thinking and problem-solving processes to bring value to companies, communities, and people. At G D Goenka University, our 4-year Bachelor of Design programme focuses on designing products, systems, and services that make life easier. At the School of Industrial Design, we balance creativity, technology, cultural concerns, and environmental needs, exploring materials, production techniques, aesthetics, the emerging fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Artificial Intelligence, and social issues in both local and global contexts. We encourage our students to create solutions that are empathetic to the end user and have contextual insight. Our new B. Des. in Interaction Design has been programmed and launched in response to the needs of users and the Industry.

Besides, we also offer our Bachelor of Design students with excellent educational and infrastructural facilities. Our teaching professionals are well-qualified and have profound knowledge in the subject. Providing the students with practical training, prepare them for a bright and triumphant future. The knowledge and skills you will acquire in our Bachelor of Design course will help you attract high-salaried jobs in the fashion industry.

Why study Product Design at UID?

Our curriculum at the Bachelor of Design course encourages a broad exploration of the design practice with an emphasis on user-centered approach and design thinking and beyond. We enable our students to develop critical, technical and managerial skills that align with the contemporary conversation within the industry also Entrepreneural thinking for self-development by aligning with thought leaders in the industry. The course is focused on process-driven work that examines all aspects of industrial design from conception to implementation. We equip our Bachelor of Design students with a wide range of design skills and thought processes that allows them to articulate their design ideas and thinking.  Our exemplary infrastructure and workshops support model-making and prototype building for different kinds of design briefs.
